I'm just trying to find the new stuff that came with the update.
I got an OTA (over the Air) update message on my galaxy s3.
I updated with KIES and rerooted.
Then i noticed a few thing had changed.
(I posted here asking about it but the thread got a bit hijacked because i named the firmware incorrectly in the title and can't change it)
What are the changes in the new Galaxy S3 Firmware Update? (the update that has happened today 09 august 2012? UK)
so far i found a couple of bits
back forward buttons on browser
holding power key gives a vibrate mute etc option
is there a list of the changes somewhere
also phuoa posted a change i hadn't noticed

This update was released weeks ago for some of us search and you will find the posts about it
you have had this question answered already in the post you previously made.....the update today is a modem change for uk users of carrier unlocked devices, as clearly stated on samfirmware.com....which part of that don't you understand?!
You tell us you got an ota and no other information than that.
What is the firmware version, baseband, kernel etc.
Actually, never mind.....

I tried a few searches. but couldn't find any info
what are the best search terms for information on the changes this update has?
The OTA update was a modem update only to LH1 for the international S3. This update was to fix battery issues.

There's a chance he may have been on an old firmware and got the lg8 update.
Still old news though.
Still waiting on a firmware version from him, he either can't read or doesn't know what I'm talking about.

I thought that, but then he goes on to specifically ask about today's update, which, as you know, has been explained to death....If he want too know about lg8 then that should be the question, I think! Bedtime, this forum is turning into a complete wreck, and taking me with it! Lol

Too many people have a "new thread" button that shouldn't have one.

I've waited for months and months for the new ICS update. And now its here I can't bloody get it. I dont feel comfortable doing the update via flashing but rather wait for the official.
When I open samsung kies on my desktop it says that i'm on the latest version!
All my friends have upgraded via Kies or manually through the phone but why is my phone different!
I'm on vodafone contract
please someone shed some light on this.
I have searched these forums but can't seem to find anyone with the same problems.

In this form this is definitely not true because my unbranded phone with stock rom+no root had already been updated weeks ago to ICS by KIES.

Yeah I don't think there is an unbranded UK ICS rom for SG2 just yet.. take the plunge and flash that **** up. You'll never look back!
Once you flash you never go back mate!
Just flashed mine with a custom rom and its a brand new world for me.
Just make sure you do your reading before you do anything so as to avoid any bad surprises.

With all the anticipation that ASUS has created about this OTA I do hope that it actually addresses some of the issues that people are complaining about. Prepare for one almighty backlash if it doesn't...
I thought Face Unlock was in .21?
Just hope this update isnt going to be like the HTC ones, where they take four months to be released

I have my root backed up with VoodooOTA Rootkeeper. I do have SuperSU Pro installed which has a OTA Survival mode, but I don't have it enabled.
I have had luck with Voodoo before, and I spoke to chainfire on twitter and he said only to enable one or the other.

Thanks! I am looking forward to trying out your rom when the update is released
Last time an update was released, the only STOCK ROM we had was Virtuous for quite some time and that was deodexed. Can we get a pure STOCK ROM based on the .28 update which is still ODEXED, rooted, and contains busybox binaries. That is the OCD in me asking....
So I've seen a post asking how we can google now on the amaze...and apparently we need to wait till source code is released or something?
There wasn't really a much clear answer to it so I'd like to ask; what's stopping the amaze currently from having Google Now? Shouldn't it have been included with the leak we got?
Didn't know much about Google Now, so I googled it. This is what I found. (I apologize if it's already been posted)

I can verify that it works but very buggy. I'm running Speed Rom 6.

I believe so. I'm running ARHD which is basically stock sense with some tweaks and it runs fine on my device. Click here for the link. It seems they've updated it to include the voice search functions. I'm gonna try that out!
mostly works from what ive seen with my stock rooted, being not in america it has issues with location stuff unless thats been changed in the last version that got released?

Absolutely does. I have stock 4.0.3, Sense 3.6, rooted, and Google Now is working. I installed it yesterday afternoon. It actually viewed my Google Maps searches from earlier in the day (I was logged into my Google account while searching) and it started giving me traffic and weather for trips to those locations. It's still collating data, as it didn't give me weather and traffic to work this morning, but the instructions say that most functions take a few days, at least. I can already tell it's going to be an invaluable resource. (Screenshot is of the bus system around my building)
As a test of both the cards and the basic functionality, I decided to look up the distance from the Earth to the Sun. (The Astronomical Unit). I wanted to see how similar the search function is, and if it'll start giving me cards based upon my searches.
FYI: I wasn't able to just install the .apk file - I had to rename it like the instructions suggest.
Thanks for all the replies and sorry for posting in the wrong board.
I downloaded this but I have to say (yes I know everything won't work from day one) I am impressed, but my problem is that I want the voice search. That's what I was looking forward to the most. Does anyone know what exactly you need to do to get the full JB voice search done?

Probably on the same day to mess with Apple.
Not sure about that, surely Samsung need something to entice buyers then a bigger screen
It wasn't lg9, not sure what changed. I had to reset the phone to clear out the clipboard cache causing the cut and paste to not work. The are a lot off people on other boards complaining of the cut and later issue too.
Anyway, the update was about 94MB and I'm still at lg8.

It means their is no update for your phone yet .You can ask your phone provider or Samsung why not .

Wrong. They never said August. They said end of 3 quarter. Which means August or September.
But people only hear what they WANT to hear and when someone says August/September they only hear August because that's what they want to be true!
is it region specific ? what region are you in ?

That's the only thing about the XDA website I don't like - don't get me wrong, I think it's great - but whenever I want to really dig I into something and the answer is not quickly apparent then I am stuck looking all over or risk getting flamed like you are. Yes, it is a pain but it's an issue that appears to have no answer so you just have to go through the pain of looking forever to find what you want. Probably makes people scared to ask a question, because they have to look all over the place to ensure nobody ever gave an answer to their question. Ugh!
